Nobel economist has done the math-the risk Trump & McConnell pose to the economy is 'terrifying'

3. Once again, Trump is too stupid to help himself.

His plan to run for reelection on the economy was 86'ed by the pandemic. Instead of really dealing with it, he chose to dismiss it thinking he could just tell people the pandemic was handled so get back to work and get "his" economy back. When the extended unemployment benefits expired, he could have used his influence over republican senators to get 4 or 5 of them to vote with Democrats to pass the House bill and prevent an even worse economic downturn. Instead he chose to stonewall and try to do something with executive orders so he could say he did it on his own. He can sign orders, but it will not work and "his" great economy will resemble 1930's bread lines.
